General Rules

- Keep it topical: Topics must remain appropriate for the category, and forum topics should not be derailed.
- No Politics: These are not political forums and we do not allow political discussions or messaging of any kind, including astroturfing or soapboxing. This includes avatars and signatures.
- Stalking, harassment, and threats: We take all threats seriously and will turn over any of these to the appropriate authorities.
- Promotion of other services: Posts linking to other services is permitted. We do not believe in censoring links to other sources. But we humbly request that all posts copy some level of relevant information / quote to the forum page. Or else use archive.is links.
- Software, DMCA and more: We operate in the US, under US law. Therefore we fully comply with all DMCA complaints and requests within 48 hours. We're not a warez site, but we also understand preservation of software, so we're quite permissive here.

Marketplace Rules
Attachments and Image Retention Policy
- We permit attachments for images, text files and tarballs in the following formats: tar, tar.gz, jpeg, png, bmp, gif and txt
- We limit all attachment sizes, other than tar/tar.gz files, to 2MB. This will not be increased upon request.
- Disk space is limited, please be courteous when uploading files as we are not a file host.
- Attachments will be kept on a best effort basis, but it's recommended to host files both onsite and offsite, as we cannot guarantee these attachments will be available with future software updates or migrations.
- Please do not circumvent the attachment limitations, either by renaming or nesting files. This is logged and tracked, and will result in suspensions.
Silicon Image Policies
- IRIX Network is the primary target of this image service. We encourage any signed up users to be on the forums and be actively involved with the community.
- We do not permit pornography of any kind on our services. Any adult content is subject to removal and a ban, including artwork.
- The primary purpose is for sharing IRIX and other hardware-related images. Substantial albums dedicated to personal effects are discouraged, this is a retrocomputing-focused image host.
- We are not responsible for any data loss that your images may encounter on our services. As always, please maintain offsite backups. Silicon Image is backed up regularly and kept on a best-effort basis.
